2. KJ Jefferson bounces back to score four touchdowns

I can bet you that KJ Jefferson wishes he could go back to the Georgia game and get a do-over. His performance against the Bulldogs was horrid. He was just 8-for-13 with 65 yards and he added just five rushing yards. To say he was unproductive would be an insult to unproductive football players.

Jefferson is one of the best quarterbacks in the SEC so I can’t see him having two straight terrible games, especially since Ole Miss’ defense isn’t great.

Ole Miss allows just under 370 yards per game and 26 points so I think Jefferson is going to have a nice bounce-back performance with about 300 total yards of his own to go along with four touchdowns.

Will he be back in the Heisman conversation? Probably not, but this will go a long way in terms of getting his confidence back.

He might even out-duel Matt Corral — might.
